Aaru's Awakening Review

Welp, just beat the hardest platformer i've ever played...god was it worth it
If you're familiar with Dark Souls, then you know the feeling of beating that one boss that's been giving you trouble and the sastifaction of it.
Aaru's Awakening is like that but a platformer.
The story is that four brothers, Dawn, Day, Dusk and Night, fought one another in a war, until they decided to allow peace, by letting a brother take control of their domains, each relinquishing control to the enxt in line. However, something upsets the balance, and Dawn calls upon his champion, Aaru, a dangerous weapon in the form of an animal, to travel to the domains and stop whatever threatens them.
The game is a platformer, each domain and level is unique, offering challenges and even a leaderboard, depending on how fast you can beat the level, you'll gain a medal. Now, each part is...difficult, and the bosses are strong, well more like challenging, as you gotta plan and be precise with your platforming. Not to mention the bosses are forcing you to use every trick you know in innovative ways. The last area itself is...wild...and crazy, if you've seen my videos you'll understand my insanity.
I do appreciate the artstyle, all of it is hand drawn and beautifully rendered, each enviroment is unique and true to the brother, and the bosses themselves look impressive as well.
Anyway if you're looking for a platformer that'll have you test or rage quit, i say give this one a try, and good luck, you'll need it.
